It's not the time, it's the aggravation of dealing with Thailand on a daily basis. Why do they resurface the road at the height of the tourist season during the end of the year holidays? More stupidity.

No problem to me, although I'd have avoided it if I'd known. However, not everybody is retired, and it might be useful information to some. If going to Market Village, maybe take the rear entrance/exit.

Noticed that this morning on the way out of town going south (no problems going that way).
Have just returned past MV and the roadworks weren't there so either they're finished "forever" or just for the night.

Not long arrived in Hua Hin from Bkk and it was toe to tail traffic heading north along Petch Road, but only as it was down to one lane, only noticed by Bkk hospital south, so I guess it must end around that way sometime - this must have been about 10.15.

I've just driven to Soi 88 from Pranburi. This stretch of road from the flyover until Soi 88 is a nightmare.

When they 'improved' the road through Hua Hin there were many accidents because everybody had their own idea of where they should drive on the vast expanse of black tarmac. Eventually, when the put paint down, it was awful, but at least the paint indicated where you should veer right or left.

Now, at one of the busiest times of the year, the road markings have been covered. It's worse. There are locals like me who know where to veer right and left, but we have many strangers passing through town who are making it up as they go along - they will be wondering what local drivers are doing. I saw one guy who had gone the wrong side of a set of cones, only the find his way blocked after the u-turn, and was trying to reverse back up the outside lane of Petchkasem.

There were serious accidents on that road before, when there was no paint, and it's going to happen again.
